Going strictly from memory (I had a 200D with that kind of filter about 30 years ago).

The bolt near the bottom is the drain. By the way, I like the idea of being able to drain the water and krud out, something you can't do with the spin on filters. Frankly I wish the newer models had this kind of fuel filter.

After you drain it, undo the center bolt. That should allow you to lift the cap off and replace the filter element. Replace the the element. You might want to partially fil the filter with clean fuel to reduce the need for hand pumping. Secure the cap. Loosen the bolt on the edge of the cap. That will be the bleed screw. Put a rag over it so it doesn't squirt on you. Pump it up with the hand pump until fuel comes out of the bleed screw. Secure the bleed screw and start her up.

PM me with your E-Mail address. I will scan a picture of the parts diagram.
